Tran Phu is one of the oldest and certainly one of the most interesting streets in Da Nang. The 2.5 km-long street runs from Dong Da Street in the north to Trung Vuong Street in the south, and it is currently one-way (southbound) for traffic.
The street boasts architectural masterpieces, both old and new, and beautiful old trees which are still full of vitality despite the city’s development over recent years. These trees not only provide shade to the road users and pedestrians, but they also contribute significantly to ensuring harmony between the landscape and architectural landmarks along the street.
